Famous brings in Nova 969’s breakfast team

Celebrity gossip magazine Famous has invited Nova’s Sydney breakfast trio of Merrick Watts, Ricki-Lee Coulter and Scott Dooley to guest edit this week’s issue.

The announcement:

Australia’s fastest growing weekly magazine, welcomed the Nova 96.9 breakfast team – Merrick Watts, Scott Dooley and Ricki-Lee Coulter – to the editorial office last week as they took over editorship of the magazine for one week.

In partnership with Nova’s For Love And Money campaign – an advertising concept which rewards listeners who work for the Nova breakfast program – FAMOUS worked for Merrick, Dools and Ricki-Lee, as the breakfast trio edited FAMOUS’ issue on sale today.

Receiving $1,000 from Nova as part of the For Love And Money campaign, FAMOUS will donate the entire grant to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Merrick, Dools and Ricki-Lee’s roles included editing the pages of the magazine, fashion and beauty advice, horoscope predictions, celebrity news and gossip updates – in addition to their opinion and guidance on the masthead’s layout and design.

Gereurd Roberts, Editor-in-chief, FAMOUS comments: “FAMOUS is committed to breaking editorial rules and pushing new boundaries in the weekly magazine market.

In line with this remit, we courageously offered this one-of-a-kind opportunity to the Nova breakfast team and we’re excited to deliver the final product.”
